This is the annual showing of the fair and expo where patrons will be provided with various health services with a holistic approach. The expo will also provide those in attendance with information about essential services from various organizations.

EXPO THEME The general theme for the Health Fair and Information Expo will be “Health and Wellness - from the inside out.” The whole health and well-being of patrons will be the focus in all the services and products being offered; patrons will be offered services treating their bodies, their minds and their spirits. There will be medical professionals doing blood pressure checks, sugar tests, cholesterol tests, body mass index calculations, nutrition counselling as well as information sessions on stress management and stroke prevention etc.

3 PROPOSED LOCATION The location for the Fair and Expo will be at the Golden Spring Community Centre’s football field, located in Golden Spring Saint Andrew which is only a ten minute drive from Stony Hill. This location was chosen because it has adequate space for a Fair and Expo of this size and it is the main recreational grounds for the community.

FAIR AND EXPO DATE AND TIME The date for the Fair and Expo will be Saturday, April 6, 2013. This date is ideal as it is the falls within the Easter season where people are conscious about their health. It is also the Saturday after Easter Monday and people will be able to take time out to look about their health.

The time period for the Expo will be from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. all sponsors and participants will have full access to the grounds for at least 24 hours prior to the Expo’s start time.

EXPO ADMISSION

The admission to the Expo is free.

TARGETED NUMBER OF ATTENDEES The target number of attendees is an estimated 500 adults and 200 children. This has been calculated based on the population of the community who will serve as our main focus, as well as from the data collected on previous expos.

EXPO GOAL The aim of the Expo is to expose persons to proper health care and services. Affordable health care of a high standard is not readily accessible and patrons will be able to access these services along with a range of products for free or discounted. Select patrons based on their health profile will also be given equipment (e.g. blood pressure monitors) to enable them to independently monitor and improve their health.

4 FAMILY FUN DAY An area will be provided exclusively for children activities and general family entertainment including bounce -a-bout, clowns, games, face painting, arts and craft, grab bag etc.
